Watch Lake Lodge and Guest Ranch is a working ranch located in the
South Cariboo, in British Columbia, Canada.

The Horn family has owned and operated Watch Lake Lodge since 1950 and
still carry on their friendly family ways today. Generations
of families have enjoyed their stay at Watch Lake Lodge and many
have formed very special friendships with each other at their "home
away from home!"

Watch Lake Lodge incorporates 12 rustic cabins, 8 sites for tents, trailers, and
campers, a safe swimming area, row boats, and a small convenience store.
Watch Lake is known for it's excellent Rainbow Trout fishing.
All of this adds up to make for a very unique vacation experience where
you draw your own water and chop your own fire wood.

The most popular attraction is the horses and the most popular
activity is the trail riding. They offer two well
supervised rides daily except on Sunday's. On Thursday they feature
an adult ride for camp guests only, and on Saturday there is a picnic
lunch ride where riders and non-riders meet at the lodge picnic site for lunch.

Wednesday is "Cowpoke Day" when a small number of riders can join
Dimps checking and/or moving their cow herd. Lunch is supplied
and this ride is an all day ride - which will likely include a
Cattle Drive!

Everyone gets individual attention before each ride starts so that
they can meet the horse they will be riding and to make sure they are
comfortable in their saddle and have no concerns. The rides are "fun for
the whole family".
